Frootwood

Fruit Beer

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

It’s been almost a year and this has held up well. Still a favorite BA Series. The malty sweet funk is the key along with just a hint of barrel. Can’t wait for the next batch!!🍻😎

This has to be my favorite so far. I’ve had numerous 4 packs when they were available. I will truly miss this beer when my stockpile is depleted!

I bought this at Gold Eagle Liquor knowing that it’s over a year old but they are still selling it and it’s a favorite. A little dank and maybe funky but all in all that’s the flavor. Looking forward to some freshies. 🍻🥹

Finally get to try one of my white whale beers and was not disappointed! Sweet cherry that’s complemented well by the subtle bourbon barrel and maple. The bourbon and maple aren’t super prominent but they are there enough to elevate the beer.

2017 bottle that's been in my cellar. Barrel impact now matches the cherry. Really well balanced.

Nice cherry flavor, delicate sweetness, and complex under-flavors. Definitely better warm.

Aroma of faint cherry with obvious notes of bourbon and oak. Taste is really nice with noticeable amounts of cherry, just the right amount of maple syrup, and finishes with hints of bourbon, vanilla, Earth, and damp oak. Very well done!

Frootwood is gooood. A friend described it perfectly saying it “drinks like a grown up Dr. Pepper”. They are eerily similar. This is so delicious with layers of flavors to be enjoyed. Not too sweet and not too tart. Thank you Paul and Lisa!
